Getting the impression this thread is being created/used to score some low life points.

You obviously havent met any of the McConville family.

Sorry, not addressing you.

Sunday World? Enough said.

Those having a go at the person who started the thread don't be such f**king wankers - of course it's going to be point of discussion.

Sunday world or no sunday world at least the basis of the story does seem to be accurate but it seems to me that those making the allegations are just seeking the limelight.  If Harte did hit them I'd be shocked if he was the only teacher that ever give them a skite why aren't they making allegations against the rest also?

So you think this - i suppose the headline could have accused Harte of willie abuse - from the threadmaster is something that is acceptable. I think it's an important issue in terms of precedent but the same poster appears to have an ulterior motive.

I dont see anything wrong with the thread title? I dont know if the poster has an ulterior motive but lets wait and see before having a go. I think it's fair enough that we have a thread on the subject, it will be a point of discussion.

I wasn't referring to you in my last post btw, I wasn't sure who your comments were directed at.

No problem with it being a point of discussion, but why is it in the GAA section?

Who wasn't physically abused as a school-child pre-1985?

Maybe they are, but the rest aren't prominent enough to make the papers

Would it be let sink to the bottom if the person in the report was the Dublin or Kerry manager? Incredible! The thread should be moved to the general section. Some Ye seem to know the exact levels of physical abuse that harte is being accused of, maybe Ye could share as its not in the report. Getting a slap and getting the shite beaten out of you are both labelled physical abuse but are two totally different things. I don't know harte or the mcconvilles so no opinion either way but shutting down discussion on the matter is not on either. For what. Its worth I hope harte is innocent of these accusations.

It's quite scary that some people have learned nothing over the last couple of years when it comes to this sort of thing.
